England, 1459. The Wars of the Roses are tearing the country apart, and Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, refuses to stand quietly in the background. Ambitious, clever, and unafraid of scandal, she will risk everything to see her family claim the throne.
But when the Yorkists lose at Ludford Bridge, Cecily is left abandoned, her lands stolen and her freedom stripped away. Imprisoned in Tonbridge Castle, she begins to weave a dangerous game of lies and alliances. Every move brings her closer to treason, but also closer to the crown.
Betrayal, politics, and family rivalries collide in a tale of power and survival.
Will Cecily’s schemes topple a king, or destroy the very family she has sworn to raise up?
